Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow orange with large frothy off white head that leaves spotty lacing. The aroma is feet, rubber, and funk. Thin mouthfeel with light fruit and strong funk and spice. Decent

750mL pours hazy gold with a thin off white head of foam. The aroma is earthy gravel, band-aid, peat and a pleasing herbal like note that keeps this interesting. The taste is similar as I’m getting funky Barbie Doll peat notes, dry earthy gravel and that same herbal goodness amid a couple of hand fulls of hay.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a tulip. Pours deep orange with slightly off-white head. Big bubble lacing, medium body, low carbonation, and nice tart aroma. Taste is tart brown sugar.

750mL bottle, courtesy of julian, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white had. Aroma of barnyard funk, Belgian yeast, and some cheese. Flavour is potent citrus, barnyard funk, and moderate Belgian yeast / brett. Finishes citrusy and barynard-centric. Very well-balanced and flavourful.

Bootle from Etre gourmé. Pours pale orangebrown with a big head. Lovky and complex scent. there is sweetness like tobacco with dried fruits and vanilla, there are floral tones of hibiscus, a touch of turpentine and bitter citrus fruits and turpentine tones of warm pines forest. The taste is rather oily and bitter. Lots of bitter wild and seville oranges but the bitterness i well integrated and balances the alcohol and sweet well. A great beer. A stunning beer.

Picked this up at Hunger Mountain Co-Op in Vermont. Stuck it in the fridge, poured into a Hill Farmstead Glass and enjoyed at 55 Degrees F. (Photos are from the pour I did for my GF)
A - 2-Finger Head, crystal clear. SRM of 8, dark golden brown. TONS of really creepy looking sediment in this beer. Lots of floaters / suspended things. Not sure what they are but oh-well.
S - Big garlic, peppers and mustard powder scent. Big spice profile followed by a fresh cut grass scent and some funky yeast. Bits of citrus.
T - Wow. Uber spicy this beer. Nice funky bitter / caramel taste. Bits of lemon (citrus) and grassy taste. The spice is nice but not preferred but just a personal preference.
M - 90/10 carbonation, lingering tart and lemon taste with a bit of coriander. Nice dry finish.
O - This is a decent beer. Not great but decent.

75 cl. bottle @ home / purchased @ Alvinne: A: looks like beer in ads, crystal clear, golden with a million bubbles rising & lambic like, whitest white head, ad beer slash champagne looking /// thick layer sediment in bottle, looks like chocolate milk / S: very tart, horse blanket, hay, coriander, lemon, lacto, geuze (?) yoghurt / T: bitter hay, yeast, lemon drops, coriander, yeast, bitter finish, lacto, oat, coriander, lemon, bitter finish, sake, booze, artificial lemon, air refresher, pepper, lots barnyard // lacto yoghurt finish / B: very light, fluffy, not what you would expect a winter beer to be, what you would expect Fantôme to make as a winter beer / neat, oddly fascinating, Fantôme-sque (possible vintage / who knows)

Updating from draft version @ Fantôme on 07/01/2012. Couleur dorée/orangée fine opacité avec un beau col blanc. Ce qui démarque cette version pression de la bouteille est le bouquet et palais incroyable et frais de mandarine qui est original pour une bière de saison. Je tenais juste à ajouter comme la mandarine et les agrumes donnent à cette bière une tournure en bouche qui est superbe. Le tout sur un profile sucré/doux et un léger houblon. 15cl bottle sample @ Kerstbierfestival ’11, Essen. Encore une bière Fantôme qui impressionne. De un l’idée de bière festive aux notes foncées donnent ici une bière à la robe dorée, col blacn épais. Arôme est très fruité allant vers le pamplemousse frais, écorce d’orange et une pointe de sucre candi et levure qui reste dans la signature de Fantôme. En bouche, bière douce, notes d’agrumes; pamplemousse, pointe d’épice presque gingembre et coriandre avec pelure d’orange. Houblon est en retrait et laisse une amertume légère.
